FY24 DHS Mabley Audiometer

The state and local contract opportunity is for the procurement of an audiometer by the Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) Jack Mabley Developmental Center. The procurement, identified as the FY24 DHS Mabley Audiometer, is for the purchase of a single audiometer at an estimated cost of $21,894. The contract opportunity was posted on December 7, 2023 and is due by December 14, 2023. The contract will be awarded to a vendor that can meet the technical specifications and requirements outlined in the solicitation. No further details are provided about the specific features or capabilities of the required audiometer.

The solicitation has been designated as eligible for a Small Business Set-Aside Program (SBSP) waiver by the DHS. The waiver is being requested due to the supply base containing several larger diversified vendors that can be counted toward the Business Enterprise for Minorities, Females and Persons with Disabilities Act requirements. If approved by the agency's Small Business Program Officer and the State of Illinois Chief Procurement Officer, the SBSP waiver would allow the contract to be awarded without a small business set-aside. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is provided, and the available budget range for the procurement is $21,894.
